How to save at Penske Truck Rental: the smartest ways

1. Use your membership code. MILITARY takes 15% off, AAA takes 12% or more off, and STUDENT takes 10% off truck rentals.
2. Grab seasonal codes while they last. As of September 2026, the code shown in the offers above saves 5% or more on one-way reservations made through September 30, 2026.
3. Prepay one-way moves. Pay Now and Save can lower the one-way rental rate, and it is the one promotion the code shown in the offers above can be combined with.
4. Let unlimited miles work for you. One-way rentals include unlimited mileage, so a longer route does not add mileage charges.
5. Keep local trips efficient. Same-location rentals are charged per mile used, so plan loads to cut trips.
6. Return with the same fuel level. Trucks leave with a full tank; returning at the same level avoids fuel charges.
7. Avoid extra days. Extra days on one-way rentals cost $200 per day, so build a realistic schedule.
8. Cancel early if plans change. Changes are free until 24 hours before pickup.
9. Save on fuel. Sign up for Shell Fuel Rewards from your confirmation page to get Gold Status and a bonus per-gallon discount.
10. AAA members: buy supplies with the discount. The AAA code also covers 12% off moving supplies.

How Penske Truck Rental pricing works

Penske quotes a rental rate based on the truck, dates and pickup and drop-off locations. For local rentals, where you pick up and return to the same location, you pay for the days you keep the truck and the miles you drive. For one-way rentals to a different location, unlimited mileage is included. Penske says there are no hidden mileage or turn-in fees. Taxes, fees and optional services are added on top, and discounts show up once you select a truck during booking.

Every truck is inspected and has a full tank at pickup. Return it with the same fuel level to avoid fuel charges. Penske offers cargo vans and 12, 16 and 26 foot trucks for local moves; check availability for your route when you book.

Booking changes & cancellation

You can modify or cancel a Penske reservation at no charge until 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. Cancelling later incurs a $250 charge. Pay Now and Save reservations can be cancelled for a refund of prepaid amounts, but you must cancel at least 24 hours ahead to avoid a $100 cancellation charge; call 1-844-721-1436 to request it. If you need more time on a one-way move, extra days can be purchased at $200 per day.

Damage protection & coverage options

Penske sells coverage as bundles: Basic (equipment damage), Standard (adds third-party liability), Value (adds cargo protection) and Plus (adds personal injury protection). The pieces are:

• Limited Damage Waiver (LDW): covers physical damage to the truck or towing equipment unless used in violation of the rental agreement.
• Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI): third-party claims up to $300,000 bodily injury and $50,000 property damage; drivers must be 21 or older.
• Cargo Accident Insurance (CAI): belongings in transit up to $15,000 with a $100 deductible; loading and unloading damage excluded.
• Personal Accident Insurance (PAI) and Towing Insurance (TWI) for towed vehicles.

All rentals include 24/7 roadside assistance.

Moving supplies & add-ons

Penske offers boxes, tape, bubble wrap, packing paper, mattress bags, furniture covers, hand trucks, rope, bungee cords and tie-downs, plus tow dollies and car carriers. You can reserve supplies when booking online or by calling 1-844-847-9577. Penske also lists moving labor, professional drivers and self-storage through partners, including The Home Depot partnership.

Military, AAA, student & other discounts

Active duty and veteran military personnel save 15% with the code shown in the offers above on local and one-way moves, and Penske runs a dedicated military call center at 1-844-487-6677.

Watch the discounts page for time-limited codes; as of September 2026 the code shown in the offers above applies only to one-way reservations made through September 30, 2026. Booking early also gives you time to cancel free if plans change.
